daishaspencer 's review for:

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
3.5
adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Interesting read, it definitely takes on a much darker tone than the movie would have you think. Crichton does not shy away from killing characters off, throwing the point in the readers face, and leaving you wanting a little more. 
“Life finds a way” is truly the essence of the story and that humans need to lower their sense of self. 
7/10 book I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fast pace mystery book with some gore.

Sadly after finishing the book all of four minutes ago I found out Crichton was a raging homophobe but he is dead and the gays live to see another day, so the joke is on him.
